So I hope someone besides me finds this funny- I'm buying up all the event summon tickets because I want Gaff pretty bad. I've gotten 0 gold crystals in the past 25+ single-pulls. Pop the second to last event ticket, gold crystal comes down. Finally, G... a... l? Darn it, it's freaking 4* Galuf!

Pulled a Delita and now I have to grind out awakening mats and Crush Armor ugh #sixstarproblems

I've got Delita too, and yeah he's pretty good right now and for nostalgia he's really cool, but trust me you really don't need to farm for Crush Armor. It's inferior to using his built-in -Def/Spr moves and the cost in event mats is really steep- almost an entire second set of 6* awakening mats.

Pulled Gaffgarion on my half-off pull this morning. Not bad. Not sure if I'll use him though.

The downside of having enough 5* mages for 2 ELT kill squads is that once I finish making Chirijiraden my only 2 real choices to give it to are Firion or Leo because my physical attacker choices suck.

What's happening when claiming them? If it's not specific, try claming on message at a time?

Selecting Claim All gives an error that not all items could be claimed, and claiming them individually gives the claimed animated, but after exiting the message the item isn't claimed.

Full of hot raspberry jam blooded passion.
So ninja posted I pulled the 6* FFT guy yesterday. Been way too busy farming since I was half ignoring the event till then.....

However, in my farming madness and search for Pink Friends to help me do such I have noticed something. My problem with not being able to go over 105 Friends? Fixed. Hooray! I can have more Friends.

I just cleared out a bunch of space including 5 goons that haven't played for a month. Sorry Goons. 479 292 591. Got Vaan up right now. Won't help you with current event. But if you're sitting around going "I need a friend" you got a friend in me.

I am WAY behind on my grinding for the item of the week. But I haven't given my magic users any real love since the beginning. Currently working on maxing out Tellah before I do any more runs of Orbonne Vaults ELT. Pro apparently has at least one bastard resistant to Blizzaga spam though.

If you specifically want lapis for 11 pulls, just buy it straight up. You should get more bang for your buck.

You could get the Amazon underground version and have a discounted chest. Keep in mind the lapis wallet in that version is separate from any other android and iOS versions.

Bundle chests are usually a good idea. Just make sure you're getting more than your money's worth or at least your money's worth.

For reference, the $25 chest has 50 energy and 4200 lapis worth of things. $48 would get you 8500 lapis worth of stuff plus 100 energy.

Not true. The bundle in the shop gives 5000 lapis and 7 tickets (effectively 3500 lapis, making it effectively 8500), plus 100 energy for 48 dollars. If you buy it directly it's 8500 lapis for 50 dollars, two dollars more.

Yeah from what I remember the 75 dollar bundle actually gave you way more pulls than buying lapis directly, though of course the old 48 dollar bundle was a massive ripoff that only gave 5k lapis and one summon ticket (plus energy/keys/Star Quartz but those are pretty inconsequential).

I just thought about it and maybe I'll just wait until the next OP banner appears because what I've seen from Gumi so far is that they are really clever with bundle/banner placement. So I'm thinking if by that time I still like it I will whale a bit. Thanks for your oppinions anyway guys.

Just remember that the rates for getting the big pull are loving abysmal. Like holy poo poo.

Just click 10+1 and count how many times you do. I got to 24 before getting a Lightning. And that was with other 5*s like WoL and Medius showing up earlier.

Yeah, this banner kind of sucks. You want a banner that has 3* that are good because those are the ones you'd actually get.

Man, if you can afford to take a lowbie into the Elite fight, it's silly good for XP. I brought a 4* Exdeath in at like L30, and was just able to Awaken him. Did one Exploration Advanced with just him and a friend character (Thanks Fiss!) to power him to L25, and now back to Elite grinding for a level almost every run.

I've been doing the same thing. So far I've gotten another kefka up to 5* level 50. It also helps that the kefka I'm sharing has doublecast so it's like I have an extra 340+ mag kefka.

796 080 166 , 6 star Lightning, Not the best one out there, unlike the ones I've seen on my friend list. No excalibur, sakurafubuki, blade mastery, atk 20% materia

but dammit she can get the job done.

I can safely bring 2 units to level up while doing ELT with her

I will delete some China and whatever else to make room for goons. 110/130 at the moment.

Pulled a Vaan from my 1/2 pull today! Hello full break!

Now I need some advice regarding team comp. I'm running 5* CoD, 4* Bartz, 5* Kefka x 2, and 4* Lenna

I also pulled another CoD while going for Lightning. My question is Should I throw the CoD in there to replace bartz? I'm worried that the lack of gear for CoD will only be made worse with two to gear. Do I stick with Bartz or replace him with that Vaan maybe?

Any thoughts?
